Jueces 20:41 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 20:41

And when the men of Israel turned again
Turned their faces to the Benjaminites, on whom they had turned their backs; and which they did on hearing the sound of the trumpet, or seeing the flame of the city, or both, and that in order to fight the Benjaminites, and smite them, as now was their opportunity:

the men of Benjamin were amazed;
at this strange and sudden change of things, at the sight of the flame of their city behind them, and at the Israelites turning back to fight them, when they thought themselves sure of victory, as at other times:

for they saw that evil was come upon them;
that they were in the utmost danger, between two fires, as we usually say, liers in wait behind them, which had seized their city and burnt it, and the army of Israel turning upon them with great spirit and resolution.

Jueces 20:41 In-Context

39 Entonces los hombres de Israel regresaron a la batalla, y Benjamín empezó a herir y matar a unos treinta hombres de Israel, porque dijeron: Ciertamente están derrotados delante de nosotros como en la primera batalla.
40 Pero cuando la nube de humo como columna empezĂł a levantarse de la ciudad, BenjamĂ­n mirĂł tras sĂ­; y he aquĂ­, de toda la ciudad subĂ­a humo al cielo.
41 Entonces los hombres de Israel se volvieron, y los hombres de BenjamĂ­n se aterrorizaron porque vieron que el desastre se les acercaba.
42 Por tanto, volvieron la espalda ante los hombres de Israel en direcciĂłn al desierto, pero la batalla los alcanzĂł, y los que salĂ­an de las ciudades los destruĂ­an en medio de ellos.
43 Cercaron a Benjamín, lo persiguieron sin tregua y lo aplastaron frente a Guibeá, hacia el oriente.
